611 New Fighter
The fishermen in Lushun were crowded in a corner of the port and had no intention of doing things. They even forgot that they were hungry and just watched the imperial navy keep driving into the port and unloading people and things.
"You guys say, how many Ming troops will be squeezed into my small thatched house? I guess there will be eleven!" A fisherman started chatting with self-deprecatingly, "If there are more, I'm afraid it will be broken!"
Hearing him speak, another fisherman then said, "You are lucky. If the Ming army leaves, your nest may still be there. But my house and his house will probably be stripped away by them and block their way!"
The old fisherman's son heard this and interrupted, "What should we do if there are so many Ming troops, if we don't leave?"
Hearing this, all the fishermen couldn't help but remain silent. Yes, what should I do if the Ming army stopped leaving? Where would these fishermen be driven to settle down?
They were thinking, and suddenly someone said in a panic: "Look, it seems that some official is coming!"
When they heard this, they turned around and found that a high-ranking official was coming here surrounded by a group of generals. Suddenly, they all became uneasy. They wanted to hide, but they didn't dare. They wanted to leave by boat, but they didn't dare to have any thoughts.
When the group of people were close, all the fishermen were kneeling on the bow of their own boat, not even breathing heavily.
"All the villagers, please get up. I have a few words to say!"
Hearing this, his tone was kind, which made many fishermen curious, so they raised their heads with courage.
"Didn't you hear the words of Lord Zhongcheng? Get up!" Xu Fu saw that they didn't get up, and shouted loudly.
What? Lord Zhongcheng is the governor? When the old fishermen and others heard it, their mouths were wide open in surprise.
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng drank Xu Fu's comments and made the fishermen get up and speak with a kind look.
If anyone in the last court officials could be close to the people, Lu Xiangsheng was the first. Others, such as Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang, etc., did not have the same intention as Lu Xiangsheng. His performance surprised the fishermen, so they shouted Master Qingtian before standing up. For them, Master Qingtian was the title they respected the most to the masters.
I heard Lu Xiangsheng say to them: "I guess those thatched houses are yours. They will be expropriated and flattened. You can rest in the city first. After a few days, I will ask someone to build a unified house for you. How good is that?"
The fishermen were worried about their house before, but when they heard the governor's words, they nodded in agreement one by one, and their mentality was completely different from before.
Lu Xiangsheng then asked, "Do you know, how often will the Jianlu of Jinzhou send people here?"
These fishermen all live on both the official roads and ports outside the city. If the Jinzhou Jianlu came, they would definitely know. One of the reasons why Lu Xiangsheng came here in person was worried that although he blocked the news, if the Jinzhou Jianlu sent someone to come, the news would still leak.
The fishermen looked at each other, and the old fisherman replied: "Sir, according to the past practice, Jinzhou Jianlu would probably send people to him during the time when the wheat was ripe and harvested."
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned. Harvest wheat! Yes, it is the harvest season in Liaodong, why did he forget this matter!
But this is not actually his fault. In addition to the farmers, how many people always care about farming. Lu Xiangsheng is very busy and pays much attention to military affairs, so he won’t pay attention. Before, he was a little puzzled why the Jianlu of Lushun came out in full swing, but at this moment he suddenly understood that they were probably for food, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately turned to the people around him and asked, "When will the wheat in Liaodong be harvested?"
When Liu Xingzhi heard this, he was the first to answer: "It will be collected in about half a month!"
"Master Zhongcheng, during the wheat harvest season, Jianlu will dispatch cavalry to strictly guard against our Dongjiang Army." Mao Chengzuojiu fought under Mao Wenlong's command and immediately told the information he knew.
For the original Ming army in Dongjiang, there were very few cavalry troops. Most of them were infantrymen and had to walk on two legs. Moreover, their combat effectiveness was extremely poor. It could almost be said that they were just farmers who picked up swords, guns and sticks. When Jianlu came out to launch a cavalry, they could not fight at that time and could not escape. Therefore, in order to grab food every year, countless casualties were almost injured, but in the end, there were very few foods that could be grabbed.
It is also for this reason that the Ming army in the Dongjiang River did not have no food to eat, and they rarely went to the inland Jianlu territory to seize food. This kind of thing formed an inertial thinking, so that during this period, no one reminded Lu Xiangsheng that the harvest season in Liaodong was about to come.
When Lu Xiangsheng learned about this situation, he immediately realized the fighter's plane. He asked someone to arrange the fishermen, and even saw that they were skinny and had no food, so he even asked someone to give them some food, so he turned back to the governor's mansion in Lushun City.
There have been instructions on the news of water and land blockade, and now it has been adjusted according to the situations observed on the spot. For those prisoners, as in Liaoyang City, they are preparing to open a public trial tomorrow, no matter who is in the Jianlu, if the public is angry, they will be left to the people to kill. Others will arrange to do some gravity work and reorganize the port to welcome the army coming from Dengzhou.
Then, his face darkened, and it was reported that Zheng Zhihu and Li Zhiqi. Wei Mulan on the side saw it and knew that Lord Zhongcheng was about to get angry. He had received a report from Li Deming through the chat group, saying that Zheng Zhihu had a conflict with Li Zhiqi when he was transporting grain to Pi Island, and the troops on both sides almost fought. Unfortunately, there were other generals on the island, so they stopped it in time. Then he received a military order and transported soldiers to Lushun, but he did not continue to fight.
The generals on both sides of the lobby rarely saw that Lord Zhongcheng's face was so bad, and they all knew that Lord Zhongcheng was about to get angry. They all kept their breath, fearing that they would attract Lord Zhongcheng's anger.
Although Zheng Zhilong didn't know what happened on Pidao, he heard Lu Xiangsheng's message that his brother and Li Zhiqi came to see each other, and knew something was wrong. If nothing unexpected happened, the two must have started fighting.
He has been following Lu Xiangsheng for this period and has already roughly understood Lu Xiangsheng. He knows that he often sets an example in his military management and can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Even if the military management is very strict, his subordinates are very convinced. If he wants to kill someone, he is afraid that no one will dare to stop him, and he will not stop him!
